The latest @Scott_Maxwell column talks about how most Sentinel journalists haven’t gotten a raise in years, even as the paper posts healthy profits “..those profits are why hedge funds target newspapers, because there’s money to mine
They deserve better.” orlandosentinel.com/2024/02/…

🚨Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT.🚨
Today, 230 journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve.
It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.

Under a new law, Florida residents will get a one month head start on booking state park campgrounds. This takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024.
Got to talk with @AnnaForFlorida, who co-sponsored the bill.

I am terrible at promoting my stuff on here. But I wanted to pop by to share this cool slice of Orlando newspaper history I uncovered.
What do you all think? Should we revive the Newsboys? orlandosentinel.com/2023/04/…
